      In the early 80s, gas prices were where they are now. Adjusted for inflation, gas is cheap compared to then! America has among the cheapest prices in the world for our fuel. If it were up to me, I'd add on MORE taxes so people wouldn't drive overly large, fuel guzzling cars. It damages our world!

    To the anonymous person who donated the $1,000,000: God bless you and thank you. And the fact that you're remaining anonymous shows where your heart is; you don't want the credit, you know you've been blessed and you want to help others. We need more people like you, and we don't have to have $1M to give away, it starts with $1.

      In Australia basic health care (including hospitalisation) is free, if you wish and can afford it, additional insurance will get slightly quicker service but everyone is entitled to medical care regardless of income.
